Windows 11 Audio Issues

Finally made the switch from Windows 10 to 11, it all booted up fine but then I noticed the audio selector spazzing out, rapidly cycling between my headphones and speakers as output sources while the volume bar jumped around from 8%-100%. 

I've had the headphones and speakers for about 6 months and never had a single issue with them while running windows 10, they're both connected to the PC via USB, not the 3.5mm audio jacks. I did the usual troubleshooting; reinstalled drivers, disabled all audio devices except for my speakers and headphones and then unplugged and replugged everything with no fix. 

I decided to take it to a PC repair shop and the technician recommended a clean reinstall of windows 11. Fast forward to this morning, I collect my PC and take it home only for the exact same thing happen.  Technicians in the shop were all stumped and recommended reverting back to Windows 10.

Not expecting this to be fixed, just warning anyone thinking about switching to Windows 11.

 

Hardware as follows:

Headphones: Steelseries Nova Arctis Pro

Speakers: Logitech G560

Asus TUF B550m

Ryzen 5

Nvidia 3060ti

64gb DDR4 RAM

2x NVME SSD
